Losing erection in Bathmate.

Is this normal? It’s only my second time using it but both times I would start the process erect and would lose my erection within minutes. Has this happened to anyone else?

Might be the fact that you are overworking your penis due to too much pressure.

The instructions say to start flaccid, erections aren’t necessary for gains with the Bathmate, don’t worry about it.

When I use my bathmate I usually start at 40% erection, but for me it’s easier to get a good seal and pressure when I’m at least 70% erect.

Just remember to take some time to work your erection up on the first set, I usually take up to 1 minute progressively improving my erection till 100% and then I start my 3 sets.

If you have a good seal it’s impossible to lose erection during the session as the pressure keeps it for you.

Remember to trim your pubic hair and to go into the tube in the right position in order to prevent water falling out the tube.

There’s a little learning curve until you can handle it easily. Try using it with a condom, maybe you’ll find it easier to get a good seal.

100% erect worked the best for me and i always pumped at the highest pressure i could take

I agree with the above post but each to their own really.
I switched back to my bathmate after air pumping for the last 7months with pretty much zero success. I believe the bathmate has and is already breaking my plateau in terms of length.
I’ve been stuck at 6.8 nbp/7.25 bp and 4.9meg for what feels like a lifetime. Air pumping seems to do nothing but temporary gains for me whereas the bathmate feels like something is actually happening.

I go in as erect as possible and go to nearly maximum i can take in as hot water as i can take. After a minute or 2 i turn it up to pretty much the maximum that feels comfy and then just lay back and relax. From time to time il stretch with it on by wobbling it from left to right as i lay on my back.

I went from the bathmate to a vac pump because i had no permanent gains, now i’m just one month vac pumping and already made more permanent gains than waterpumping, but i still use my bathmate if i am in a hurry and need a big temporary dick.

what air pump did you use avarage G?

I go into my bathmate erect and to be honest, I have no clue if I’m “actually” erect much after that.

I pump to maximum tolerance and the negative pressure makes it expand far larger than my erection normally allows. I can’t touch it in the tube and the feeling of stretch coupled with the hot water make it impossible for me to really know.

What I do know is it looks monster in the tube. By the time I’m releasing pressure I am a bloated flacid, but I had no notice of when the initial erection went away.

Not been a problem for me…..

Yes.

The bathmate was pretty much useless to me. I could go in with a full erection and as long as I didn’t lose any vacuum whatsoever, it would maintain size, maybe grow a little bit, but as soon as I lost any pressure it would drop down in size and would not pump back up to full, erection or not.

Switching over to a decent air pump with a gauge, I am much happier. I can go in flacid and go up to full size, or I can go in erect and maybe get a little more.

Personally, I very much dislike the Bathmate, but it might just be a product that works better for some and not for others. Order a decent air pump with a gauge, go to 4”hg and see the difference.

The other thing I didn’t like about the Bathmate is light refraction. It may look bigger in that tube full of water than in a regular air pump cylinder, but I can pretty much guarantee you it is not.

I ended up getting the Sizematters pump and cylinder from Amazon. I got the 1.75” cylinder, which was a mistake as the cylinder is tapered slightly and apparently my glans is much wider than 1.75” especially pumped. What can I say, I have a giant mushroom tip, haha. It works, but I have the 2” on order.

Length comes when you are completely relaxed, and ya sneak up on it if there is any pullback by your PC won’t gain… girth will come when your incredibly horny do routine and wear a cock ring to sleep a fixed size neoprene or steel ring behind the balls.

With pumping you have to be consistent and committed to gain and be willing to lose it all… just to start over again.

It’s almost intoxicating if done correctly, feels sooo gooood

I also have an air pump but I can’t get a good “pull” on the air pump at this kind of pressure.

When I’m using the bathmate and I push to the max, my penis reaches the same length as my bpel, but I the air pump when I pump to 4~6hg, I can’t reach the same length, usually like 10% less.

Do you guys think that it might be because I’m not going on the pump erected?

Right now I’m usually doing 3x 7 minutes sets with heat the entire set. Also I don’t think my length changes from set to set, seems to be always the same length when at the same pressure.

How long does you pumping takes?

I’m just getting back into pumping but I’ve been doing 2 sets of 8-10 and usually tap out before the third set of 8-10 is done. I’m just being cautious, mostly worried about the glans, I don’t like the color it turns when packed in there. I’d like to work my way up to 3 sets of 10 or maybe 2 sets of 15, but I’m not sure how safe that is.

Personally, I’m going for girth. I don’t really care about length as my length is currently enough that I have to be careful with the old lady.

I just got the 2 inch tube and my glans packs that as well, haha. It is not anywhere near as bad, though so I think I’ll be able to work up to the 3 sets of 10 with it.

When I was working on length and pumping I would do some v-stretches and inverted v-stretches before the pump. 45 second holds at base, mid and upper shaft. Maybe you could give that a try, or if you want to do something less advanced do some regular old manual stretches before-hand. If you do go with v-stretches just be very careful and start slow, as you can hurt yourself quite easily with them.
